Marine collagen: why you should be interested in this star ingredient

Marie-Claude Savard realized that the products available on the market didn't meet her needs. She wanted a pure formula, without other ingredients, that was easy to add to her daily routine.

What is collagen?

Collagen is a superstar protein produced by our bodies. It is essential for the structure and firmness of the skin: like scaffolding, it consolidates the supporting fibers of the dermis (i.e., the thick layer of tissue beneath the epidermis). In fact, the word collagen is derived from the Greek kolla , which means glue.

The star ingredient works in tandem with its inseparable partners: elastin (to keep the skin's envelope supple and plump) and hyaluronic acid (to retain water in the skin and thus plump it). It also helps create proteins like keratin, which is found in our nails and hair.

With all these virtues, it's no wonder we find it in anti-sagging skin products.

Collagen reserves decrease

The problem is that collagen production begins to decline as soon as we enter our twenties. No one escapes this natural aging process. Most of us will have lost around 45% of our collagen reserves by the age of 50.

What are the consequences of this deficiency? A gradual decline in skin elasticity, tone, and radiance. The findings in front of the mirror: sagging and withered skin, flabby tissue, fine lines and wrinkles, dull and brittle hair, weakened nails...

But we can protect our precious capital by reinvesting marine collagen in our bodies.

The sea to the rescue

It's possible to boost the production of the slowing protein by ingesting a marine collagen supplement. Why marine? It's because its structure most closely resembles that of the human body—making it more easily assimilated by our bodies. It's extracted from the skin, bones, and scales of fish (most commonly salmon and cod. In the case of MCS's PURE product, it's wild-caught cod). A mini-chemistry lesson is in order here: this collagen undergoes a process called hydrolysis, which breaks it down into small, digestible peptides. Meanwhile, bovine collagen, which comes from the skin, bones, cartilage, and tendons of cattle, is less digestible, not to mention the risk of disease transmission it can cause.

The benefits of a marine collagen routine

Rebooting our natural collagen synthesis is a bit like hitting a reset button! The protein's positive effects are evident in the appearance of the skin, which regains firmness, elasticity, and luminosity. Hair also benefits thanks to the action of collagen on keratin: hair follicles are stimulated and hair fibers are thickened. Nails, for their part, are strengthened: they grow faster and are more resistant.

“I love my PURE Marine Collagen for its remarkable benefits on my skin, hair, and nails. It boosts my radiance, supports my overall balance, and strengthens my daily routine. Every dose is a small step towards my well-being.”

How to incorporate marine collagen into your daily life

Marine collagen comes in a variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, and gummies , but the powdered form has been a resounding success since celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Victoria Beckham adopted it into their wellness routines. There are plenty of ways to consume the product in this form.

PURE Marine Collagen can be diluted in fruit juice, coffee, tea, latte, or smoothie. Sprinkle it on yogurt, cereal, fruit, or salads. Add it to soups, sauces, or compote. Once ingested, it works from the inside out and deep down. It crosses the intestinal barrier and diffuses throughout our body.

The important thing is to maintain daily discipline. The recommended dose is 10g per day, for a minimum of 5 months. What pays off to achieve results? Diligence, diligence, and diligence.

What sets MCS PURE Marine Collagen apart from other products?

Its formula stands out for its fine texture that dissolves instantly, leaving no lumps or residue. It's odorless, tasteless, and most importantly, it won't stick to spoons or the sides of glasses. Just high-quality collagen, designed to blend seamlessly into your drinks and food, with ease.

At what age should you start collagen supplementation?

It's possible to do this from the age of 25, when collagen production begins to slow down. This is the time when we should prepare for the future.

You might think that discussing "prevention" with twenty-somethings would be cringe-worthy (embarrassing)... and yet, Generation Z is fascinated by the idea of ​​storing collagen reserves in the skin to anticipate the appearance of signs of aging. In fact, the hashtag #collagenbanking has gone viral and thousands of videos on the subject have been posted on TikTok.

Each generation's skin challenges differ, but the quest for a healthy, radiant appearance remains, whether you're 30, 40, or over 50. A treatment combined with a balanced lifestyle promotes our overall well-being.

Are there any contraindications?

Marine collagen powder may cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Avoid if you have fish allergies.

Do men feel challenged?

Collagen loss affects everyone. The treatment is completely inclusive!

Where does the collagen craze come from?

A pioneer in beauty trends, Japan introduced the consumption of collagen in drinkable form in the early 2000s. Japanese restaurants introduced dishes made with shark fin or chicken skin, labeled "anti-aging" on the menu, along with "very spicy" or "gluten-free." Ten years later, the United States adopted the amazing protein in drinkable collagen parties , gatherings with girlfriends who drink healthy collagen cocktails while nibbling on canapés. Today, cafes dedicated to collagen drinks have opened in Paris, London, and Tokyo. The phenomenon gained momentum when international stars revealed their beauty secret: the famous protein powder diluted in their favorite drinks. Add to the equation viral videos posted on TikTok and consumers constantly seeking wellness, and you have the current buzz surrounding marine collagen.
